I don't understand how that can be true. I put a deposit on a new Hyundai last month and Hyundai Canada is telling me it won't even be built until February 2023, specifically citing chip shortages.
If you're buying one of Hyundai's new EVs, those have been so well received I wouldn't be surprised if there were delays on them independent of any chip shortage.
In the Mid Atlantic region you have to pay 20% over MSRP to buy an ordinary Toyota Corolla off the lot right now, it's not limited to new technology or high demand units.
